Month: 2024-11. Focused on strengthening container networking identity and DNS reliability through hostname propagation and DHCP enhancements. Key features delivered across three repos: containers/common enabled using container name as hostname when not specified (container_name_as_hostname) with backward-compatible default; containers/container-libs propagated this hostname via a ContainerHostname field in NetworkOptions to Netavark; netavark introduced DHCP improvements to include the container's hostname in DHCP requests and to use the container ID as the DHCP client identifier. No explicit bug fixes were documented this month; the changes improve DNS record management, stability across container restarts, and reduce manual configuration. Technologies demonstrated: Podman networking, Netavark integration, DHCP client identity handling, and containers.conf options.
